1. 1

   Put a mixing bowl on a kitchen scale and weigh the dry ingredients as you add them (add an ingredient, reset the scale, repeat) one at a time.

2. 2

   Mix together with a rubber spatula.

3. 3

   Add the water and mix together, scraping the bottom of the bowl until you get an even consistency.

   Put about 4 cm of oil in a frying pan or small pot and heat on medium heat.

5. 5

   Drop a pinch of the dough into the oil.

6. 6

   If it floats to the surface, then it's hot enough.

7. 7

   Drop the dough in rounded tablespoons one at a time into the oil to fry.

8. 8

   Use cooking chopsticks to push the donuts into the oil in order to fry all sides until golden brown (over medium-low to medium heat).

   They're easy to cook through, so they will quickly finish frying.
